JJJ. you would probably know what having fleas feels like as you are from well, the place you praised in another article. Your spelling and grammar indicates you are indeed a slow adult. Before exposing your unintelligible thoughts to world, think. I can tell where you are coming from. Go back if you are anti where you are now.
Newsflash, this is an act of vandalism; nothing more.
I noticed it’s never a “hate crime” when its a “white”, “christian” or “moslem” symbol being vandelized.
I am getting so tired of the goverment trying to regulate personal thought.
“Hate crimes”, are you kidding?
Now we persecute people for what they believe?
Yet another attempt by a small minority of individuals to “wag the dog”.
Time to shake this off like a bad case of fleas.
These “laws” need to be immediately removed from the books.
Too bad there isn’t a politician in the state with the rocks to face this issue intelligently.
Valuable public resources are being wasted. I’d love to have a sweet job kicking back and investigating “hate” crimes. Why are these public resources not being used to halt genuine crime.
These “laws” are making matters worse not better.
I know everytime I see one of these stupid laws, unequally applied to a group I am not a part of, my upset toward the protected group grows.
I’m sure I’m not alone.
Wake up people.
All that aside, do you really want the government telling you what you can and can’t think?

considering everything that’s been happening in the world you can’t really be surprised by something like this. putting that thing up was an invitation to have this happen. it should be inside.
Tom,
There are sick individuals in the world.
